Configure the Main tab of a Prover record

On this tab, you can set up the prover record's basic configuration details.

To configure the Main tab of a prover record

1. Enter the Name of your prover record.

2. (Optional) Enter the description of the prover record.

3. To select the Group, click (...) to select the group to which the prover record belongs.

   The group Select dialog appears. From there, you will be able to select your desired group.

4. To assign a Dataset, select (...).

   The doas_dataset dialog appears.

   You will be able to select a dataset that will define the privileges assigned for each system and mode.

   Once a record is assigned to a dataset, the dataset can only be changed to a value for which the system has a privilege record. A record's dataset cannot be changed in such a way that the system can no longer access the record.

5. Select the MCF Calculation Type. Options are:

   • APIch21

   • Kenonic

   • Original

     Note: For more information, see Understand how the meter correction factor is calculated.

6. Select the Prover Type. Options are:

   • single-wall

   • double-wall

   • small-volume

7. Define the Base Volume. The value should be entered in m3.

8. Enter the Wall Thickness. The value should be entered in millimeters.

9. Enter the Pipe Diameter. The value should be entered in millimeters.

10. Click (...) to select the status point that will provide the Prover Status as indicated by the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). The status reported will be either Busy or Idle.

    Note: In order to start a new prove, the Prover Status must be idle.

11. Click (...) to select the status point that will provide the Seal Failure Status as indicated by the PLC.

    Note: This is not required for host meter proving.

12. Click (...) to select the status point that will provide the EOR Status.

    Note: This is not required for host meter proving.

13. Click (...) to select the status point that will provide the Command STOP Status.

    Note: This is not required for host meter proving.

14. Define the Command Stop Timeout (secs), enter the time in seconds within which the Stop command should be issued. An alarm will be raised in the event that the stop command is not successfully issued.

15. In the Poll Cycles for STOP field, enter the number of poll cycles to wait and check for the stopped condition (pulse counter stops incrementing).

    Note: The stop status must be defined through EOR Status.

16. Select (...) to assign the rate point that will provide the Accumulator Rate information.

17. Enter the Accumulator Delay information in seconds.

18. Enter the Run Timeout in seconds.

    This is the number of seconds AVEVA Enterprise SCADA should wait for a prove run to complete after the prove sequence has started.

19. Enter the Reload Timeout in seconds.

    Enter the number of seconds AVEVA Enterprise SCADA should wait for a reload to complete.

20. Enter the Delay for Ball Catch in seconds.

    Enter the time in seconds to wait for the ball to return to the starting position.

    Selecting this checkbox will allow you to clear the counter (the accumulator) in between runs.

23. Define the Host Type.

    Note: You must select Host PLC.

24. Select (...) to assign the Remote (RTU).

25. Select the Remote Protocol.

26. Select the SAGE Prover checkbox, if required.

    Note: This is not required.

27. Enter the Last Report Number. This is the report number of the last prove performed using this prover.
